I remeber the Mercator. We were all a little bemused hwne this big
twin-engined prop plane emitted starting-up jet noises while waiting
number one for the runway there at Naha back in the fifties. We were
also a little bemused at having to make IDs on blacked-out P4s returing
from their nocturnal prowls along the PRC coastline. Any of y'all
remember the blacked-out F86Ds formating on you while the pilot read
the BuNos with his flashlight?
